New Kubota rim is $300.00 plus and N.L.A (no longer available).
I was bummed and then the parts tech found me a close aftermarket rim made right here in the USA. for about $90.00
It just needed to be painted.

OH and I had to move out my hub 1" to make up for the different offset.

Jeese looks someone sat in a swampy field for a decade! Or was there calcium chloride in the tires?

No kiddin,
That would the calcium ballast crap.
Let's just say it hasn't been dusty in my dirt driveway much lately.
I probably will do the other side too, now that I know this baby works.
I'm just gonna keep working on this thing until it looks nice and respectable.

That looks like a Kubota factory rim but the tire mounted on it looks like a car tire and not an ag turf tire.

I got this tractor in non-running condition for 500.00 and I didn't use a gun to get it.
I think the seller was overwhelmed 'cause the dealer was NLA on the wheel and
when he asked about a used one, they acted like he was crazy.
I got it running with the help of this Forum!
Rear Right has to go too.

I like my new "faux-bota" wheel so much I ordered one for the other side, before they wise up and charge me more.

As for the tire, It's a giant lawnmower tire I guess, which is OK considering I live on less than a quarter acre.

Any guess on how many passes with a 4 foot deck to mow my lawn?

But, how many tractors do you own?? I think I hold the record for most tractors-small acreage, 3 tractors on 1/3 acre not including lawn tractors.

Well If my murray riding mower counts,
I also have a case 644 wheel loader
so I guess were in a dead tie, unless my 4x4 quad counts, in that case I may have won.

I am sorry, RE:lawn tractors, I should have read your post more thoroughly,
You win.
Oh but I have less acreage, so there's that and well, I don't feel like doing the math, I concede, you have absolutely won, for now.
